  • Arcane is based on the League of Legends video game and it is out now on Netflix and I was able to speak with two of the incredibly talented voice cast members! Toks Olagundoye, who voices Mel Medarda, and Harry Lloyd, who voices Viktor. Check out my other interviews with the Cast/Creators of Arcane:

    About Arcane: Arcane dives into the delicate balance between the rich city of Piltover and the seedy underbelly of Zaun. Tensions between these city-states boil over with the creation of hextech - a way for any person to control magical energy - in Piltover; and in Zaun, a new drug called shimmer transforms humans into monsters. The rivalry between the cities splits families and friends as Arcane brings life to the relationships that shape some of League of Legends' famous champions including Vi, Jinx, Caitlyn, Jayce and Viktor.
    Based on the world behind the game League of Legends, the animated event series features a complex world filled with moral decisions, breathtaking animation and suspenseful storytelling.

    I never could've guessed that was Harry Lloyd playing Viktor. He did a great job.

    This was awesome to see that Mel Medarda might as well just be Toks' being herself (not that I know her, but that's the vibe I get). She's very composed, elegant, and just seems like such a gorgeous person! Perfectly cast.

    The first project I saw Harry Lloyd playing in was Game of Thrones. He played viserys targaryen. He is such a great actor.

    Every voice actor is amazing and they did the great job. But wow, mama's geek , you also doing the great job by interviewing everyone ❤️ before arcane, i never thought that league will actually creating series because it's been a long long years for me since my first time playing league in (2011) until now I'm still playing league.

    39 and I love 💕 playing League of Legends, I have CPTSD Complex Post Traumatic Stress Disorder and Anxiety Stress Disorder that like Powder causes Partial Disassociation Disorder my voice and mannerisms completely change when that happens, it's cause from severe emotional, psychological, verbal mental and physical abuse from early childhood that's disrupts early childhood and brain development from the damaging trauma. It effects you well into adulthood for me it's as if adult me reverts to the traumatized abused child and what I say how I sound during an CPTSD episode is just that till I snap out of it, as is I laugh pain especially physical pain because of the childhood fear of being a burden to others I keep it in and laugh instead of crying afraid to show weakness and that reverts to childhood foster care an easy target by bullies so you like Powder go numb block it and the you that can handle it takes over till you can't take it anymore and break down by yourself so no one will judge you, what it does is destroy you from the inside out, exhaustingly physically, emotionally and mentally its caused by multiple severe traumatic compound disruptions of the serotonin in brain and wiring of it like fight or flight and as a result lasting damage at childhood development and progressive the longer a child is subjected to the abuse, sounds, smells and trauma. The child seeks a bond with someone who will be the placement who they fearfully want to trust, unfortunately it can lead to them getting involved with someone who in an adult relationship uses this and creates a trauma bond. It's all do to society and their parents or whomever failing them from as young as 1yr into teenage adolescence . They want to belong but afraid of being their true self, want to please and make others happy at the cost of suffering themselves, because they remember that loss as a child. I can very much see it in Jinx and what she has gone through. Right now I am trying to raise money so I can as strongly recommend because I trust animals over people because of the severity, abandonment issues, abuse and trauma to get a Service Dog as it was recommended a Service Dog would provide the healing, rehabilitation desensitize and motivation I could never get by another person, basically because of CPTSD the Service Dog replaces what hasn't helped aka therapy, opioids and no trust in others.
    I hurt emotionally and mentally and have my own flashbacks seeing what Jinx aka Powder has and is going through because on a deeper level it's reminded me of my past not letting go and the demons and triggers I face everyday, I didn't nor ever asked to have CPTSD..... NO society and those who were supposed to be there, raise me I'm a safe and healthy environment and protect, love and take care of me were never there in early childhood, I was in foster care, bullied in school never fought back. So now in process as I said of getting a Service Dog that can help and proven to be beneficial for rehabilitation, desensitizing myself, and healing to move forward. I plan to give my Service Dog a League of Legends characters name that befits us as a team and as a companion to me the handler in moving forward, but never forgetting the past and that no matter how it tried to break me, I am a Survivor. One thing I hate is sympathy by people who know nothing of what I went through and act like I should be a charity case, when society was the childhood enemy that caused my CPTSD. So the opening song to the Netflix series I can relate to.

    Wondering why you keep saying that you've watched the 4 episodes released in these interviews...when they were all released in chunks of 3?

    • @MamasGeeky

      Netflix gave screeners to press about a month prior to release for those attending the interviews. We were given 4 episodes.
